Remote Start, not from the App

[Calvin H-C]

I don't know what the environment/layout is where you work, but my wife works in a place where she can't have her phone with her for security reasons. Not data security, just security in general - employees can't wear clothes with pockets, if you get what I mean.

That said, their locker room is outside the secure area, so once she gets there, she can start the Lightning before using the washroom, which gives it enough time to warm up. Even with today's -6C (21F) weather.

We have phone storage at the exits of the building, but only the very exit, or about halfway between my office and where I park.

In truth, I could have my phone at the same place a fob would work. However aside from the fumbling with getting a phone started (needs to be turned off in storage), I also much prefer to NOT use the work storage. I believe they have gone back to the all metal locking boxes again but they ping pong between lock boxes and open storage. Not exactly keen on leaving a $1000 phone out where about 1500 people enter or exit the building.

No. But there is this.

Great looking out for the poor fella living in a tundra! lol
Luckily for me and I suspect 90% of other Lightning owners I have not used my car key fob since the day I bought the truck. I absolutely love the phone connectivity JUST because I never part with my phone and I just love it!.... but I think I already said that...
